Step 1: Upload Your Bot Files

  • ZIP your bot files on your local machine.

  • In your Pterodactyl server's File Manager (File tab), upload the ZIP file.

  • Once the upload completes, right-click the ZIP file (or ...) and select Unarchive.

  • Confirm that all your bot files & folders (e.g., package.json, config, etc.) are in the root directory.

Step 2: Configuration

Step 3: Start the bot

  • Go to the Console tab and start the bot.

  • This can take up to 5 minutes while it installs the required dependencies.

Note: You may need to run npm install and npm start. It depends on your host.
